The conductor in this photo detached, but the bolted splice connector remained attached and prevented a free end from being whipped around by wind. The conductor deformed the prongs and pulled away from the conductor connector at the upper-left corner. Bolted connectors provide a more reliable connection than prong-type splice connectors.

The lightning-protection system conductor on this hospital blew away, but the air terminal still was attached. If lightning were to strike this air terminal, the lightning would not safely dissipate.

This conductor was attached to the coping with a looped connector. When sufficiently long screws are used, this is an effective attachment technique.
